INSPECTIONNot For Reproduction COPY Harvard Business School INSEAD 1 One Sunday night in July of 1989, Claude Meyer and his delivery team for Ariel Ultra were on a train speeding from Brussels to Paris. They had spent 18 months developing P&G’s first compact laundry detergent for the European market, and now, as they were finalizing the details of a meticulously planned pan-European launch, they learned that Unilever was about to launch a similar product in France—two months ahead of P&G. Meyer, European Regional Vice President for laundry products, and his team were brainstorming responses to their longtime rival’s pricing tactics, package sizes, and a premium-niche marketing strategy, all of which differed significantly from P&G’s European plan. As the train sped towards Paris, they debated whether to change their approach to the French market to meet Unilever’s challenge, or continue with their original intention to implement a consistent Europe-wide strategy.

  • Skipping School (%)
    IN FOCUS education data education evidence education policy education analysis education statistics education data education35 evidence education policy Who are the school truants? • Across OECD countries, 18% of students skipped classes at least once in the two weeks prior to the PISA test, and 15% of students skipped a day of school or more over the same period. • Few students in high-performing school systems skip classes or days of school. • For students in OECD countries, skipping classes is associated with a 32-point lower score in mathematics, while skipping days of school is associated with a 52-point lower score. • Truancy is observed among all students, whether advantaged or disadvantaged. Teenagers will be teenagers; and in that uncertain territory between childhood and adulthood, rules will inevitably be broken. In many countries, this translates into student truancy. In others, however, 15-year-old students choose not to skip classes or days of school because they understand the importance of education, because their parents and teachers have nurtured their engagement with and at school, or because their school system ensures that truancy is not tolerated. Students who took part in PISA 2012 were asked to report how many times they skipped classes or days of school without authorisation in the two weeks prior to the PISA assessment. Across OECD countries, 18% of students skipped at least one class and 15% skipped at least an entire day of school without authorisation in the two weeks before the PISA test. In Argentina, Italy, Jordan and Turkey, 40% of students or more skipped at least one day of school, while in Argentina, Costa Rica, Greece, Latvia, Romania and Turkey, 40% of students or more skipped at least one class.

    Consumer Detergents « The Washing Powder Cartel » European Commission, DG Competition Agenda I Introduction II Factual assessment III Legal assessment IV Procedure V Settlement procedure VI Assessment on fines VII Final words European Commission, DG Competition Introduction • On 13 April 2011 the Commission fined Procter & Gamble and Unilever a total of € 315.2 million for operating a cartel with Henkel in the market for household laundry powders. • The cartel covered price coordination and it was operated in 8 Member States for 3,2 years. • This is the third cartel settlement decision since DRAMS and Animal feed cases. European Commission, DG Competition European Commission, DG Competition European Commission, DG Competition Factual assessment (1) 1. PRODUCT SCOPE • The cartel concerned powder detergents used in washing machines: ”Heavy duty laundry detergent powders intended for machine washing and sold to consumers” (HDD low suds powder) • These are sold in cartons and bags • Henkel brands such as Dixan, Le Chat, Minirisk and Persil • P&G brands such as Ariel, Tide, Bonux and Dash • Unilever brands such as Skip, Omo and Sunil European Commission, DG Competition Factual assessment (2) 2. THE INFRINGEMENT • The cartel started when detergent manufacturers implemented an initiative through their trade trade association (Association for soaps and detergents, ”AISE”) to improve the environmental performance of detergent products. • Within the environmental initiative companies reduced dosages and weight of washing powder and packaging material. The environmental objective, however, did not require them to coordinate prices or other anti-competitive practices. • Industry discussions led to anticompetitive conduct among the major producers: Henkel, P&G and Unilever. The companies did this on their own initiative and at their own risk.

Mountain View Mountain View Mountain View [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Greg Corrado Jeffrey Dean Google Inc. Google Inc. Mountain View Mountain View [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The recently introduced continuous Skip-gram model is an efficient method for learning high-quality distributed vector representations that capture a large num- ber of precise syntactic and semantic word relationships. In this paper we present several extensions that improve both the quality of the vectors and the training speed. By subsampling of the frequent words we obtain significant speedup and also learn more regular word representations. We also describe a simple alterna- tive to the hierarchical softmax called negative sampling. An inherent limitation of word representations is their indifference to word order and their inability to represent idiomatic phrases. For example, the meanings of “Canada” and “Air” cannot be easily combined to obtain “Air Canada”. Motivated by this example, we present a simple method for finding phrases in text, and show that learning good vector representations for millions of phrases is possible. 1 Introduction arXiv:1310.4546v1 [cs.CL] 16 Oct 2013 Distributed representations of words in a vector space help learning algorithms to achieve better performance in natural language processing tasks by grouping similar words.
